Re: [a/s] My First Tow: A Lesson in Fear



For sure.  When returning from Mexico this spring I found out too late that 
some "weird people" had slackened the adjusting bars on my Hensley causing 
one to bend.  Found out while braking on a downgrade.  It could have been a 
lot worse.  I was able to adjust the bars up tight and tow to the next town 
and get hem adjusted as well as possible under the circumstances.  The tow 
back to the States was OK below 60 mph.  above that it was fishtail time.  
Hensley air freighted the needed part and I was OK after that.

Lesson: always check your hitch after a stay in anywhere.  Idiots are born 
more often that suckers.
